If I am shooting at sunset in the desert and want to add flash to say, a cactus, would it be best to use the flash on just one of the exposures and take the other bracketed shots without the flash? Or, rather take them all with flash and just bracket the...

I ran into this on another site and thought some folks here might find it of interest. This poor forum is seeing little love, so getting a thread started here makes me feel as if I have done my good deed for the day

Your thoughts please? I'm sure you have one or two.]]>40What is Composition?Mon, 02 Nov 2015 17:25:33 +0000https://www.nikoncafe.com/threads/what-is-composition.293894/
